Punta Arenas is the final staging point for the Scott Expedition, before Ben and Tarka head down to Antarctica.

In October 2013 Ben Saunders and Tarka L'Herpiniere are departing on arguably the most ambitious polar journey in history - an 1800 mile unsupported return journey from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole retracing Captain Scott's footsteps.

It will be the longest unsupported polar journey in history and first time Scott's route is completed.
